When I first started posting Reels, I wasn’t gaining any momentum. In fact, it got me lower reach and engagement than my regular posts. But I kept studying, creating, and posting Reels, and…

I’ve finally decoded the secret to exploding your growth and engagement using Reels!

What are REELS?

Reels is a content format that allows you to create and discover short, entertaining videos on Instagram.

It also has been an AMAZING engagement and growth generator for many accounts, allowing them to SKYROCKET their growth.

Why are they IMPORTANT?

• Instagram is eager to compete with Tiktok and is giving Reels HUGE real estate on its platform. It has its own explore page which allows for global discoverability
• Not only does it have its own explore page, but it’s also is shown in-feed, on the explore, in hashtags, and in larger sizes.
• The algorithm for Reels allows for discoverability and virality that has never been experienced before on the Instagram platform. You can have 100 followers, but still reach 1 million users!
• Reels are shown at 9:16 proportion, which takes up the entire screen and captures attention far more than regular in-feed posts

This is the most comprehensive guide to Reels that you’ve been waiting for.

This easily-digestible program hands you the key factors you need to create engaging and follow-worthy Reels.

Say goodbye to stagnant growth, and hello to brand new followers who’ll look forward to every video you post!
